The ATPA provides unilateral preferential access to the U.S. market for certain products in order to reduce dependence on the illegal drug trade, although the Correa government in late June 2013 “renounced” its participation in the program. For additional information on the consideration of trade preferences for Ecuador under the Andean Trade Preferences Act by the 113th Congress, see CRS Report RS22548, ATPA Renewal: Background and Issues, by M. Angeles Villarreal. This report provides a brief background on political and economic conditions in Ecuador under President Correa, and examines current U.S. relations with Ecuador. It provides context for recent developments such as the asylum request reportedly made to Ecuador by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward J. Snowden who is wanted on espionage charges in the United States for release of top secret documents about U.S. surveillance programs. For more information about Ecuador’s extradition policies and legal analysis, see CRS Legal Sidebar WSLG561, U.S. May Face Significant Obstacles in Attempt to Apprehend Edward Snowden, by Michael John Garcia. Background Ecuador is a small oil-producing country with about 14.6 million people situated along the Pacific Coast of South America. Located between Colombia and Peru, two major cocaine producing countries in the Andean region, Ecuador is strategically important to the United States. Not only is it a major transshipment point for U.S.-bound illegal drugs, but Colombian armed groups seeking to rest, resupply, and transport drugs, and thousands of refugees fleeing Colombia’s internal conflict, have crossed its porous northern border. Moreover, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Ecuador was the 11th largest supplier of crude oil imports to the United States in 2012 and an important supplier of crude to the Western United States.1 Rafael Correa, elected President three times by voters in Ecuador, has proved to be one of the nation’s most enduring leaders. While the United States has traditionally had close relations with Ecuador, under Correa’s leadership the relationship has often been tense due to his populist governing style and his combative, self-described “anti-imperialist” stance. Friction between the two countries culminated in the expulsion of the U.S. Ambassador in 2011. Although full diplomatic relations were restored in 2012 with the appointment of a new U.S. Ambassador to Ecuador, tensions between the countries continue. The Correa government in recent months has tried to bolster economic ties and, up until late June 2013, advocated for renewal of trade preferences which are set to expire July 31, 2013. 1 The data are drawn from the U.S. Energy Information Administration website at http://www.eia.gov Congressional Research Service 1 Ecuador: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Political and Economic Conditions Correa Administration Ecuador has a relatively long experience with democracy, but it has been marked by frequent cycles of instability. Since its independence in 1830, regionalism and personalism have defined Ecuador’s political culture. Following a return to democracy in 1979 after nine years of military rule, party splits, bureaucratic ineptitude, and corruption proliferated. Voters have periodically blamed incumbent governments for their problems, and often have turned to populist, anti- traditional party candidates to govern. Ecuador ended a decade of political and economic instability with the election of Rafael Correa, a left-leaning U.S.-trained economist, in late 2006. Fulfilling a key campaign promise, Correa succeeded in rallying the nation to support a referendum to rewrite the constitution. The new constitution, written by an elected Constituent Assembly, was approved with 64% of the vote in September 2008 and went into effect in October 2008. The 2008 constitution, Ecuador’s 20th, increased the power of the president and allowed the president to run for two consecutive terms. As required under the new constitution, new elections were then organized for President, Vice President, Members of the unicameral National Assembly, and provincial and local offices.2 In April 2009, Correa won the presidency in the first round, garnering 52% of the vote. His party, Alianza País (AP), won the most seats in Congress, although not a majority. President Correa describes his ideology as a “Citizens’ Revolution,” but maintains that it responds to conditions in Ecuador and is not merely a replication of the leftist policies of his ally, now- deceased Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. Often described as “confrontational,” President Correa’s populist approach weaves together themes of economic justice and Andean pride with a critique of the traditional partisanship of Ecuadorian politics. In September 2010, President Correa faced a police uprising over pay and work conditions that resulted in five deaths which Correa and his supporters called an attempted coup. The brash way the President responded to the police rebellion was viewed by some observers as a way to burnish his reputation.3 Clashing with some of the Ecuadorian press over its coverage of his handling of the September police uprising, President Correa brought a lawsuit against Ecuador’s lead opposition newspaper El Universo. In July 2011, the President won a $40 million judgment against the newspaper that included three- year prison terms for the journalist who wrote the offending editorial and three of the newspaper’s executives.4 Following considerable international pressure, including criticism from the Organization of American State’s (OAS’s) Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression, Correa pardoned the journalist and the newspaper so they would not have to serve jail sentences or pay the large fine. Human Rights Watch maintains that President Correa has used his power to “undercut freedom of the press in Ecuador” through public denunciation and retaliatory litigation, and that judicial 2 U.S. Department of State, Background Note: Ecuador, June 8, 2011. 3 Simon Romero, "In Ecuador, a Leader Who Confounds His Supporters and Detractors Alike," New York Times, October 10, 2010. 4 Mercedes Alvaro, "Ecuador Newspaper Gets Harsh Sentence," Wall Street Journal, July 22, 2011; “Correa Wins Second Round against El Universo,” LatinNews Daily, September 21, 2011. Congressional Research Service 2 Ecuador: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations independence has been weakened.5 Critics of the Correa presidency claim there has been a pattern of attacking the media through the courts and regulation, and allege that Ecuador’s courts are unduly influenced by the President. Government ownership of media has greatly increased during the years of the Correa presidency. Recently, President Correa has taken a lead in the OAS in attempting to reduce the budget of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and its Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression through a series of controversial proposed reforms that were ultimately tabled in March 2013. Although countries such as Ecuador, Bolivia, and Venezuela tried to weaken the IACHR’s influence and power at a special session of the OAS General Assembly on March 22, 2013, the vast majority of OAS member states rejected the effort.6 Correa’s first term (2009-2013) was supported by a couple years of strong

  • Populist Citizenship in the Bolivarian Revolutions
    MIDDLE ATLANTIC REVIEW OF LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES, A JOURNAL OF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COUNCIL OF LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES Populist Citizenship in the Bolivarian Revolutions Carlos de la Torre University of Kentucky Abstract: This article analyzes the contours of populist citizenship as an alternative to neoliberal models of citizenship as consumption, and to liberal models that protect pluralism. It compares how political, socioeconomic, civil, collective, gender, and GLBT rights were imagined and implemented in Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador. It explains why despite the expansion of some rights, populists’ use of discriminatory legalism to regulate the public sphere and civil society led to the displacement of democracy toward authoritarianism. Key words: citizenship, populism, rights, democratization, authoritarianism. Populism is a form of political incorporation to the political community based on rhetorical appeals to and the mobilization of the people (de la Torre 2000). Populists use a Manichaean rhetoric that confronted the people against the oligarchy understood as self-serving and foreign-oriented elites that marginalized the plebs from political, socioeconomic, and symbolic resources and benefits. Populist challenges to the exclusion of the people, and their promises of inclusion and even redemption took place during episodes of mobilization and contentious collective action (Jansen 2015). During populist events the meanings of the term “the people” and who belonged to this category are contested. Several actors such as politicians, activists, and leaders of social movements claim to be the voice of the people. Politics becomes a struggle over who could claim to talk on behalf of the people and to represent their interests. Populism is also a model of citizenship conceived as the active participation of the people in politics (Spanakos 2008; Rein 2013).

Our working hypothesis argues that the reorientation of the foreign policy of these countries was possible due to a connection between alterations observed in the domestic and international spheres starting in the middle of the 2000s. In the internal sphere, the greater political stability resulting from the restructuring of the party system; in the foreign policy environment, an international system more open to the progressive field, allowing a change in the orientation of Bolivian and Ecuadorian foreign policy, based on that moment on the diversification of partnerships with an anti-United States bias.

  • When Bad Things Happen to Good Sovereign Debt Contracts: the Case of Ecuador
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive When Bad Things Happen to Good Sovereign Debt Contracts: The Case of Ecuador Porzecanski, Arturo C. American University February 2010 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/20857/ MPRA Paper No. 20857, posted 24 Feb 2010 07:01 UTC WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD SOVEREIGN DEBT CONTRACTS: THE CASE OF ECUADOR ARTURO C. PORZECANSKI Distinguished Economist-in-Residence School of International Service American University Washington, DC 20016-8071 [email protected] Draft, February 2010 ABSTRACT The lesson from abundant history is that, despite decades of constructive innovations in international loan and bond contracts involving sovereign financial obligations, lawyers, bankers, analysts and investors are best advised to operate under no illusions: Sovereigns are indeed sovereign. To those who harbored the hope that Argentina’s bad behavior as a sovereign debtor was a major exception that would not soon be repeated, the case of Ecuador’s latest default on shaky claims of the “illegitimacy” of some of its obligations demonstrates that while the absence of sovereign willingness to pay remains rare, it is not rare enough. These rogue sovereign debtors can be effectively restrained only by the forceful actions of other sovereigns, bilaterally or multilaterally, but in this case, in a repetition of attitudes shown toward Argentina since 2002, the international official community not only failed to condemn Ecuador’s actions, but actually expressed verbal and provided financial support. The government in Quito gathered no plaudits from the many national and international NGOs that have been campaigning for the massive forgiveness of developing-country debt, but at least this attitude is understandable: the case of Ecuador did not lend itself to arguments in favor of repudiation on “odious debt” or any related grounds.

The country’s National Electoral Council (CNE) registered 16 presidential and vice- presidential candidates for the election, with opinion polls pointing to a three-way race between Andrés Arauz, Guillermo Lasso and Yaku Pérez. The election took place under the cloud of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Government’s response to the pandemic and the worsening economic situation were key factors for voters. None of the candidates secured the 40 per cent of votes required for an outright victory, but Andrés Arauz topped the first round by a significant margin and immediately progressed to the run-off. It was initially unclear which other candidate would contest the run-off poll as the second- and third-placed candidates were neck-and-neck in the preliminary results and the CNE announced recounts would be held in many provinces.

  • Ecuador: in Brief
    Ecuador: In Brief June S. Beittel Analyst in Latin American Affairs February 13, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44294 Ecuador: In Brief Summary Ecuador is a small, oil-producing country of 16 million inhabitants located on the west coast of South America between Colombia and Peru. In 2017, Ecuador was considered to have the third- largest proven reserves of crude oil in South America, with 8.3 billion barrels. It is the smallest member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Petroleum is Ecuador’s largest export to the United States, the country’s top trade partner. With the reduction in crude oil price since 2014, Ecuador’s earnings have fallen after years of strong growth. Former President Rafael Correa (2007-2017), a leftist populist leader, was elected and reelected over a decade, bringing stability to Ecuador. In 2015, his popularity began to decline; he dropped in the polls to a 35% approval level by the middle of 2016. A recession brought on by low oil prices had diminished government revenues, and President Correa had adopted many unpopular budget-tightening measures. Protests from diverse groups—indigenous people, trade unionists, environmentalists, and critics from the right and center-right—became more frequent. Correa’s critics accused him of constraining freedom of assembly and association, stifling freedom of the press and expression, and restricting independence of the judiciary. On April 2, 2017, presidential candidate Lenín Voltaire Moreno of the Alianza País (AP) party narrowly won a runoff election in Ecuador, with a margin of slightly more than 2% of the vote.
